Cisco ncs 540 small density routers are temperature-hardened, conformal-coated platforms with advanced timing class c , security, and qos features that revolutionize sub-100g routing by bringing the power of the ios xr operating system to 3g 4g 5g cell sites csrs and ease ip fication of radio access network ran and small-cell backhaul.The next phase of the network traffic explosion will be driven by use cases that make massive demands on communication service providers. Not only do these new-age applications stipulate greater data bandwidth, but they also need to be complemented by ultra-reliable, low-latency communications to deliver use cases like ar vr media, ultrahd and new multimedia consumer experiences, massive internet of things iot , tactile internet, smart cities, ai surveillance, smart health, and machine-to-machine m2m applications such as smart meters.Cisco network convergence system 540 ncs 540 small density routers, part of the larger ncs 540 router family, are designed for cost-effective delivery of next-generation services and applications for mobile and wireline. These routers are sub-100g-bandwidth, cost-effective, native-25g, carrier-class, i-temp, conformal-coated, etsi-compliant, ultra-low-power, devices capable of class-c timing, best-in-class security, service exposure using nc yang, streaming telemetry, and flexible rollouts using sdn. Built for deployment in any-gen ran backhaul, sub-6 5g cell sites, fixed-wireless access fwa , small-cell backhau...
